This is a great restaurant inside Annapolis Mall, with an entrance on the exterior as well. It's a nicer type of place, but there isn't any dress code that I'm aware of. Everyone seemed to be pretty casual, but the food is definitely a notch or two elevated from ordinary.
I had the smoked salmon dip, which was chunky and very tasty. It's very thick, so not like a spinach-artichoke thing. More like a spread. Quite tasty. For my entree, I went with the Filet Oscar, with crabmeat and hollandaise. It was very good!
The service was really good, too. Our waitress came by the table often with refills and to check on us in general. I was kind of surprised, because the place was PACKED! Definitely recommend reservations here. They do walk-ins, but you might have to wait a while. If it's for a special occasion, CALL AHEAD!
The prices are a bit steep, but about what you might expect from a fine steakhouse. The thing is, I wouldn't necessarily classify Stoney River as a steakhouse. Sure, it's fancy enough, but they do a lot more than steaks. The vibe is more of a fine dining establishment, but an accessible one... not an exclusive place.
Anyway, great food, great service, but expect a long wait (even with a reservation) and a crowded atmosphere, along with high prices. It's well worth visiting, but I'd prefer something quieter for a more intimate or romantic setting.
